Chapter 10
Madison was in the middle of making a peanut butter and butter sandwich when she felt a sharp pain.
"Oh God not now. Baby I know you want to come out and meet mommy and daddy. Believe me we want you to come out too, but daddy is not here. He's at an appearance out of state. You have to stay in my tummy until he comes back tomorrow ok?"
Madison's answer was another sharp pain and her water breaking.
"Well I see you're gonna be like your daddy and not listen to mommy. Ok I'm gonna call your Aunt Sydney and Aunt Vanessa."
Madison slowly walked over to the counter the cordless phone was sitting on and dialed Vanessa's number.
"Hey mommy to be. What can I do for ya today?"
"Take me to the hospital. Baby Cena is ready to make an appearance."
"Oh shit. Ok I'm on my way. Call Syd and Jeff and tell them to head to the hospital."
"Ok. Hurry Ness."
Madison pressed the talk button twice and then dialed John's cell phone. It rang a few times and then went to the voice mail.
"Hey it's John. You know what to do."
Madison sighed and left a message.
"Hey baby it's me. Speakin of babies…we're on our way to the hospital because I AM IN LABOR NOW!"
Madison cringed as she yelled the last of her message. She couldn't help it. A contraction hit just as she spoke. She then pressed talk twice again and dialed Sydney's cell phone.
"Hey mommy. What's up?"
"Syd you and Jeff need to leave yall's hotel room and meet Ness and me at the hospital."
"It's time! Finally! Have you called John? Do I need to call anyone?"
"Yeah I called John. Stupid fuck didn't answer his phone. Call my dad and yours and meet us there."
Sydney said she would and they hung up. Madison heard a car pull in the driveway and looked out the window. She picked up her overnight bag and headed out to Marc's car. Marc jumped out of the passenger side and ran over to help her.
"Hey Mads. Let's get you to the hospital huh?"
"Please let's."
"Did you call my cousin?"
Madison glared at Marc as she laid in the backseat. "Yeah. Fucker didn't pick up. I left him a voicemail."
Marc nodded and tried to call John on the way to the hospital. He too like Madison left John a voicemail.
"Hey man Nessa and I are takin Mads to the hospital. You're gonna be a daddy finally."
Marc shook his head as he flipped his phone shut. Four hours later Madison was in her hospital room and had gotten an epidural. She looked up as her dad walked into the room.
"He's not comin daddy."
Mark nodded. He was angry at his son in law and sad for his daughter. Meanwhile at John and Madison's house in Boston John flipped open his phone after he got out of the shower.
"Damn twelve missed calls and six voicemails." John said as he dialed the number for his voicemail.
The first message he heard was Madison's.
"Oh shit."
"What's wrong?"
John looked up at the woman standing in the bedroom doorway leading from the bathroom. Standing there was a naked woman drying her hair with a towel.
"Madison is in labor."
"So what if your ex-wife is in labor?"
As John looked at the woman he had been seeing for the past five months, it seemed to hit him all at the same time. She might not know about his affair, but John had already lost the two best things in his life…Madison and their child.
